Delaware Statutory Trust

A 1031 DST (Delaware Statutory Trust) is a type of real estate investment that allows property owners to defer capital gains taxes when selling investment property by reinvesting the proceeds into a professionally managed portfolio of real estate. It combines the benefits of a 1031 exchange (a tax-deferral strategy under IRS Section 1031) with the structure of a DST, which lets multiple investors own fractional shares in institutional-grade properties like apartment buildings, medical centers, self-storage facilities, or distribution warehouses. Unlike a REIT, which does not qualify for 1031 exchange treatment, a DST is considered direct property ownership in the eyes of the IRS.

Instead of purchasing and managing another property directly, investors in a 1031 DST can enjoy passive income while deferring taxes. The DST sponsor handles all the management responsibilities — collecting rent, maintaining the property, and dealing with tenants so you can invest without the headaches of being a landlord. This makes 1031 DSTs especially appealing to those nearing retirement, looking to simplify their portfolios, or seeking to transition out of active
property management.
